This time of year there's lots of unique gifts to be found in the foodie regions or craft markets. A basket of organic ingredients for pizza toppings (anchovies, olives, sun dried tomatoes etc) always seems to be well received.
Nice bottle of port.
At a KK last year I received a card telling me I had bought a goat for a village
I loved it

I like these too - you can get them from Oxfam.
If you really want to buy something then I like some of the desk gagdets you can get from Australian Geographic/Aus Post - good if you work in an office environment

I've always hated KK's where I end up with biscuits, chocolates, bathroom smellies, bottles of wine and other things I don't need, use or want.
Giving food stuff doesn't take into account the whole allergy thing which you have to be careful of nowadays nor their tastes or whether they are on diets etc. so I'd steer clear of anything food or drink.
I'd also steer clear of any kind of service that's tied to a particular shop that they have to travel to which could be a PITA for them e.g. foot massage and the like.
I would suggest a $25 gift card for a popular shop (e.g. Target, Bunnings) found everywhere so they can buy what they want. Suits any sex and all ages.

make a donation on their behalf to Oxfam, Red Cross, Medecines Sans Frontiers etc
It would be miniscule. I bought hampers for the staff last year - $100 each and they were not that big.
A nice set of wine glasses doesn't go astray - always getting broken.
Or; gift cards; too easy and you can't get it wrong, unless it is a giftcard to "Leather and Pain R Us"
In a recent poll[ 25% of respondents indicated that they don't drink.
you would get much leather or pain for $25
shop-bought hampers
That's good to see Joan. When I read your post yesterday, I thought about chastising you for suggesting anyone actually BUY a shop-prepared gift hamper.
I imagine a $25 hamper would contain about 15 tea bags and the rest would be the wrapping.
Not if you put it together yourself BV.

What a great site! Thanks for sharing.
The 16 age range puts alcohol out of the equation; whilst most 16 year olds do drink, it would be irrisponsible for a business to allow a minor to receive alcohol at a work Christmas function.
I once got a collegue a new car. It was brightly coloured, looked cool, made of plastic and bought at Target in the toy section. He rather enjoyed the unsigned note that said, "I heard you need a new car!"
Failing that, $25 will get you some nice chocolates that go down well with most people.
